Good for a weekend... Not so much long term

I'm giving 4 stars. The place was nice given the fact it survived the last hurricane. There was a bit of trash and debris left over from the hurricane that has just been left underneath the house, which made hard to park a vehicle or boat without tripping over something. The driveway was nicely done, but again the old concrete has just been pushed down to the water and has just been left there. Inside the home was nice and simple which turned out great minus a couple missing pieces... I didn't think about not having a washer and dryer just for the fact most everyone has one. This house however does not, nor does it have a dishwasher like it stated on the post. I found that strange because there's a spot for a washer and dryer, which has been turned into a closet for the vacuum and some other random inventory for the home. I wish something was said about this before, I stayed for the month and would have liked to had a washer and dryer rather than going to the local laundromat to wash clothes. There's also a big industrial size exit sign at the only door leading out of the house(small house). Again, I'm not sure why you need this, but there is no way to turn it off, so at night the whole house glows red. I've never rented a house from VRBO that had this so just another weird thing I guess.

Again, the house worked out good and I would recommend this to someone else, only if they just wanted something for a weekend or just a week. Great views, close to parks and you can walk just about anywhere. I'm glad it survived the hurricane and I'm sure that's a hard thing to recover from, so hopefully I can come back to see it all cleaned up.

One of the best views we’ve stayed at. Loved the scenery, but the house could use some updating

The view was absolutely gorgeous. The outside looked great and we loved the privacy of the home and the property around it. However, there were a few “cleanliness” issues on the inside of the home. Since there is no dishwasher, it looked like the glasses and dishes were cleaned very poorly by hand. Lots of spots and pieces of food still on them. Also, both the towels and sheets had stains on them. While I do think they had been washed, they still had plenty of noticeable stains on them.

Another issue was the amount of sunlight that came though the window so early in the morning due to the blinds being broken in the bedroom. I would suggest fixing those. I would also suggest putting a window unit in the bedroom.

Overall we enjoyed the stay. Again, beautiful view and cute house. Perfect for one couple looking to get away and the price was awesome. But there were just a few things we felt could have easily been fixed that weren’t.

This is such a cute house with an absolute beautiful view!! A little dusty on the inside, I couldn't stop sneezing so I cleaned a little and it was all good!! Definitely worth the 8 hour drive from SC. WE LOVED IT!! The town is so small, everyone knows everybody and they were all very friendly!

Nice view and location but incomplete house with inadequate AC, slime coated balcony, no washer/drye

For a single renter or a couple, this could be an ideal water-view house, in a good location...however, it is only 85% or so completed by owners, with several major shortcomings...not the least of which is all the construction material, ladders, tools, etc., left under the house; not only unsightly but dangerous...also, the air conditioner is too small for this house, especially for adequately cooling the bedroom; and it had to be repaired in the middle of our stay, due to a major leak onto the LR/DR floor...also, there is no dishwasher, no washer/dryer for dirty clothes, and the water-side balcony has not been cleaned in forever, and is coated with mold and slime, as is the very cheap balcony furniture...again, this could be (and probably will be) a very nice place to rent, once the owners finish the upgrades and construction, and clean the place up, esp. on the outside/underneath...I would rent this place again, but only after that all is done...then would probably give it 5 stars too...

A Hidden Treasure

Carrabelle and this great one bedroom property offered all we needed for some much needed rest and relaxation from the hustle and bustle of our daily lives. Along with enjoying all the shopping along the coast, we sipped coffee, and counted the stars as we watched the sun come up. Everyone we met was so friendly and welcoming. We've definitely found a hidden treasure with this property. The only thing I would suggest is bringing a box fan to pull the cooler air from the living room into the bedroom during the warmer summer months. We can't wait to return!

We had a wonderful quiet weekend. The views are amazing and the house is perfect for a couple or small family. We spent most of our time fishing at the property and St George Island. Local raw bar had great oysters! We will be back. Thank you!!
